Police Minister Poto Williams says her family were upset about comments National Party leader Judith Collins made. But Williams said she first read the comment to be referencing the “actual use of a bottle to harm someone”. She was taken aback by the comment and has since been supporting her family who were “pretty distressed”. Collins made the comments while addressing a public meeting in Kerikeri last month. While speaking about the police minister, Collins was reported to say “Isn’t she great?” followed by “I think a lot of people want to bottle her.” Following a pause, she clarified she meant to keep Williams in a bottle like a genie, according to the report.
New Zealand nurses vote on third sellout offer About 30,000 nurses, healthcare assistants and hospital-based midwives are currently voting on a third pay offer from New Zealand’s District Health Boards (DHBs). Voting ends tomorrow. Members of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) held an eight-hour nationwide strike on June 9 after rejecting two previous offers that would have lifted wages by just 1.38 percent, less than half the current rate of inflation. The NZNO provoked widespread anger among nurses when it cancelled a strike scheduled for July 29 before presenting the new proposed multi-employer collective agreement (MECA) for a vote. The offer does not address low wages or the increasingly desperate staffing crisis in public hospitals caused by decades of underfunding.
